We've been enjoying lots of traffic, compared to the fall. We show the house at least twice a week, the most times we've showed it in a week is five times. We've even received an offer. However, it was low and the buyers weren't interested in negotiating.
All this is great, however, we still haven't sold the house.
One piece of criticism that we continually get is the carpet. Curtis and I decided we weren't putting any more big money into the house, specifically carpet since we have 4 young children. Last night, Curtis and I cleaned the carpets with a proffesional carpet cleaner that we rented. I was thrilled with the results!
Obviously, it doesn't look new. And we didn't worry too much about the areas the rug and carpet would cover. But as our realtor said, we just want to give a more positive first impression. And hopefully, now potential buyers will see the house as more move in ready.

Looks great!
Great idea. Looks great and very inviting, saying "come buy Me"
I just wanted to stop by and thank you for visiting my blog the other day. It's always fun to see a new face. Hope you find an exercise that works for you.
And about the carpet...I had to laugh. Our carpet looks just like your "before pictures." We have plans to eventually pull it up and put down hardwood, but we are trying to pay off the house completely first. It's hard to be patient when you know the amount of pee and puke lurks under the carpet pad.
Hope you sell soon!!
Blessings,
Sandy
